EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT15-20 musicians (local and touring) have 2 songs or 10 minutes to perform original music in front of an audience of peers and one unknown guest judge. Once everyone has had a chance to perform, there will be a short break and the guest judge will determine 3 finalists. The 3 finalists will perform one more song and then our guest judge will pick a winner.

THE RULES:

There is a $5 entry fee per performer (initially said $3, but after talking with potential contestants I discovered that they were interested in a bigger pot to win). Each performance must be limited to three players per act. No effects…set-up needs to minimal, time is of the essence. No drum kits – only scaled down or hand-held percussion allowed. Performers must check in for their slot, 30 minutes prior to their scheduled playing time. Because “playing ability” is a judging criteria, for obvious reasons, CD Accompaniment Tracks are not allowed.

ALSO, due to the size of the room and the number of performers, the ONE PURCHASE MINIMUM DOES APPLY…it’s how we stay in business.
